Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken marinade:

  • 200g chicken thigh, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp oil

For the sauce:

  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp palm sugar
  • A pinch of msg

For the stir-fry:

  • 450g fresh wide rice noodles (2–3 cm wide)
  • 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup Chinese broccoli (gai lan), cut into 2–3 cm pieces
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil (neutral, high smoke point)
  • Optional: chili flakes - for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken

  • Mix the chicken thigh slices with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch and oil
  • Let sit 10–15 minutes while prepping noodles and veggies.

  1. Prep noodles

  • Separate fresh rice noodles gently.
  • If using dried, soak in warm water until soft but slightly firm, then drain.

  1. Make the sauce

  • Combine dark soy, light soy, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and MSG in a small bowl. Set aside.

  1. Stir-fry

  • Heat wok over high heat until very hot. Add oil.
  • Add garlic, stir-fry 30–40 seconds until fragrant (do not burn).
  • Add marinated chicken, stir-fry until almost cooked through.
  • Push chicken to the side, crack in eggs, and scramble quickly.
  • Add Chinese broccoli, stir-fry 1–2 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Set aside
  • In the same wok or pan, add noodles and sauce. Toss gently, pressing noodles against the pan for slight caramelization and smoky “wok hei.”
  • Add back the rest of the ingredients from before and give it a final toss.

  1. Finish

  • Taste and adjust seasoning: extra light soy or fish sauce if needed.
  • Serve immediately, optionally with sliced chili and chili flakes
